Page 4 www.southpark2-hoa.org / SouthPark 2 TIMES / September 2012Help Your New Grads Get Out Of The HouseIf you’ve got a recent college graduate living at home, searchingfor his or her first “real” job, you know how difficult the job hunt canbe these days. In the interest of getting your kids off the sofa and outof the house, try offering this advice:• Clean up online profiles. Potential employers will check yournew grad’s profile on Facebook and other social media sites.Advise your job-seekers to remove images and language thatmight give recruiters pause. Coach them on how to use sitessuch as LinkedIn to create a more professional online persona.• Network. Your son or daughter might be tired of hearing, “It’snot what you know, it’s whom you know,” but it’s still validadvice. If you have useful contacts, introduce your children.Otherwise, nudge them toward making an effort to connectwith professionals in their chosen field, and advise them onhow to comport themselves.• Work for free. This may seem counterintuitive when you wantyour children to start making money so they can afford theirown apartment, but internships and volunteer work can teachthem useful skills while introducing them to the world of work,and can bring them into contact with a wider range of networkingcontacts who may be able to help them in their fledglingcareers.• Update the wardrobe. Remind your kids that jeans andT-shirts won’t make the grade in most workplaces, especiallywhen they’re interviewing there. Help them pick out somesophisticated, professional-looking outfits so they can go outinto the world with style.Excellent Real Estate Services,Affordable “MATES RATES.”Australian charm withclient focus and a smile ~Cheers!!Silence The Self-Doubt In Your HeadDo voices in your head talk you out of success ordiscourage you from trying anything new? It’s notschizophrenia: Lack of self-confidence can sabotageyour efforts. You can silence those mental words ofdoubt with these strategies:• Be fully prepared. Self-doubt can take controlwhen you’re not 100 percent on top of what youneed to know. Do your homework thoroughly.Anticipate questions and obstacles so you canplan a response. Look for gaps in your knowledge,and fill them until you’re more informedthan anyone else on your goals.• Visualize success in detail. When you knowexactly what you want to accomplish, you’ll bebetter positioned to bring your goal to life. Naildown the specifics: What does your idea looklike, inside and out? What will it do, and not do?What impact will it have? Before every meetingor presentation, spend some time imaginingexactly how you want things to go. With a clearscript in your head, you’ll be less prone to getdistracted by nerves or fear.• Confront your doubts. Listen to your negativethoughts. Are they telling you something youneed to know? Though you don’t want your fearsto overcome you, you shouldn’t dismiss them outof hand. Address the issues as they bubble up inyour mind. You can remove their sting by facingthem directly.SouthPark Real Estate 101~ SUPPLY and DEMAND! ~We have strong DEMAND for our beautiful SouthParkcommunity, and very low SUPPLY!Jan Baer SELLS SOUTHPARKSouthPark 2 End unit Ranch Town homes inHIGH Demand & Going UNDER CONTRACT in a matter of 3 days!3001 W Long Ct #D Ranch, end unit town homeJan Baer Selling Agent, Closing 8/31/12 U/C in 3 days!3021 W Long Ct #A Ranch, end unit town homeJan Baer Listing Agent, Closing 9/19/12 U/C in 3 days!SOLD7792 S Hill Dr, Fremont Model SouthPark Single Family Home,Closed 8/20/12 ~ Jan Baer, Listing AgentJUST LISTED2913 W Long Circle #E 3 bedrooms (1 on the main level) 2 bathrooms(1 on the main level) Tuck under Garage, Stainless Steel Appliances,Includes Washer and Dryer, Blue Ribbon Home Warranty, Great Location!Priced to SELL and cheaper than renting, with today’s historicallyLOW Interest Rates!

Hope to see you for dinner!A Long-Range View of Personal SpacePersonal space is... well, personal. We don’t like strangersgetting too close, and we’re only comfortable allowing very closefriends and family members to get really close. Although personalspace varies somewhat in different cultures, most humans considera bubble of about 18 inches to be “intimate space,” limited to family,good friends, and pets.Beyond that, a personal zone extends from about 1.5 to 4 feet,where acquaintances and casual friends can enter. After that, asocial space of 4 to 12 feet is where we feel comfortable with newpeople or strangers, and anything outside that zone is up for grabs.All this space is apparently controlled by the amygdala, theregion of the brain that recognizes and regulates emotions likefear. In an article on the Live Science website, Ralph Adolphs,professor of psychology and neuroscience at California Instituteof Technology, explains that this belief stems from examination ofa patient with lesions on her amygdala who felt no discomfort nomatter how close anyone got to her.So when someone gets in your face, maybe you can blame yourinstinct to clobber him on your amygdala.GOOD TIME TO SELL!
